Squabbalogic Independent Music Theatre returns to the Sydney stage in January 2019, with their first full production since 2017, Herringbone - A Vaudevillian Ghost Story by Tom Cone, Skip Kennon and Ellen Fitzhugh, in association with KXT and Bakehouse Theatre Company.

This darkly comic, hilariously disturbing southern gothic tale is a vaudevillian ghost story told by eleven larger than life characters. They just don’t know there’s only one actor in the cast.

The Bondi Theatre Company cast of the Margaret Fulton: Queen of the Dessert have had a close encounter with the Australian cooking legend, who is the subject of their production from October 12 – 27.

The musical is based on the biography of Margaret Fulton I sang for my supper, tracking her life from a school girl to a national cooking superstar who sold 1.5 million books.

Cast and creatives were thrilled recently to meet the almost 94-year-old in the Southern Highlands, to learn a little about her life.  

Truth is stranger than fiction. From the producer who brought you Cry-Baby, High Fidelity and Rent, Lauren Peters, comes the musical Catch Me If You Can. Based on the biographical hit film of the same name, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, Catch Me If You Can will play from 19 July 2019 as part of the Hayes Theatre Co 2019 season.

Two musical theatre stars return to Canberra, their hometown, to headline the cast in the upcoming production of We Will Rock You – The Arena Spectacular.

Toby Francis, who recently played the lead in the Kinky Boots has been cast as Galileo whilst Queenie van de Zandt, of King Kong, Funny Girl and Jan van de Stool fame, will play the role of the villain Killer Queen.
